Biography & Autobiography. Nature. Sociology. Nonfiction. HTML:"Radical, before it meant a person who advocates strong political reform, meant getting to the root of things, the origin. It comes from the Latin radix, radicis,, meaning radish, a root vegetable."â??BK Loren

At times this book is a painting, at others a poem, or a song to life and all of it's wonderful variety. It is passion and it is pain because a good life necessarily has both--a yin/yang of mystery that is nevertheless familiar to us all. BK is boldly open and honest about things that have happened in her life, and how they help mold her into the person she is today, which is still a forever changing being. Her lyric voice, even when hard edged, is mesmerizing. I loved this book, and I will be its champion forever--it is definitely on my list of best books I've ever read. ( )
